AI Music Labeling: Not a Tech Issue, but Start of UX and Business Game

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) plan to collaborate with Spotify and Apple Music to push forward AI music labeling. While this looks like a milestone in technical compliance, from a product manager's perspective, this proposal exposes the traditional record industry's defensive mindset towards AI. What truly determines whether this standard can be implemented is not technical feasibility, but how streaming platforms balance user experience with creator rights, and how regulators define the vague concept of "AI involvement."
